I really enjoyed the book, but I did struggle with it a bit, and I think that was more of a personal issue than a flaw in the writing. The storytelling and writing quality are impressive. While I had some difficulties connecting with certain aspects, I still appreciated the effort and skill that went into this book. Overall, it’s a solid read and worth checking out if you're interested in a well-crafted story.

A queen turned mercenary. A long-lost love. An ancient evil reborn.

With her home kingdom destroyed and her family considered dead, Aelia Springborn makes a living, using her abilities to break minds for anyone with enough coin. Content to live a life in the shadows, her world is turned upside down when her former lover, Caiden Stormweaver, tracks her down at the edge of the world with a proposition she can’t refuse…. help him thwart her former husband, King Gideon, from obtaining the deadly army of the Alder King.

With a chasm of hurt between them, the pair strikes a deal; once their mission is complete, Aelia will wipe his memories of their relationship, releasing them both from their tumultuous past.

Bound by magic and aided by friends, Caiden and Aelia set off on a journey to save the continent from ultimate destruction. However, as their mission progresses, Aelia and Caiden find themselves reigniting the flames of their past.

But in Moriana, breaking a bargain is deadly.

Things become even more complicated when Aelia meets Tharan Greenblade, a charming playboy whom she cannot help but fall for. With the threads of their fates entwining, the trio will be forced into a high-stakes game that will test their loyalties and raise the dead.

Don't miss this adult romantasy debut combining the dark fairytale atmosphere of Nettle and Bone with the heart-stopping romance of A Court of Thorns and Roses and the found family dynamics of Divine Rivals. With tension at every turn, this novel explores the sacrifices we make to save the ones we love.

I was given this through netgalley and FB arc group. I really didn't find anything special or interesting about it. Even the cover is bland

DNF @20% 1.5 stars

I was intrigued by the blurb, and it had me in the beginning. However, the writing is so choppy/jarring. The world building and character development didn’t feel fully fleshed out. There really isn’t a whole lot I could explain about this world… I couldn’t visualize the characters, wardrobe, scenery at all.
On top of that, there’s no way to differentiate anyone’s personality/hardships/backgrounds which made it difficult to care about any of the characters.
There are also just pacing and physical writing issues. One minute we’re over there then a body part is doing something that makes no sense—very jarring. As for the pacing, things needed to be slowed down and given more depth for sure.

While I thought that some things happened a bit too fast, I enjoyed this story. I wish the last half of the book didn't feel like it was so rushed but I love all the characters so I'll just hope book 2 is a bit slower.
There is a lot going on from the first page to the last.
We have a 2nd chance at love that gets bargained away and a new start for everyone.
Betrayal, secrets and more.
If you like instalove, magic, and redemption you will like this.
I received an advanced reader copy and these thoughts are my own.

This book started so good, I was really intrigued by the plot and characters and got stuck in, about 50% in though the plot started hopping about and really lost my rhythm with it. Overall a cool story and real promise but just missed the mark a little for me but definitely going to be popular with fantasy readers!

Very interesting book. It started off a little slow for me in the begging but it did pick up a little. I did end up ending this read.

K.W. Foster has crafted an enchanting and thrilling fantasy in A Curse of Breath and Blood. The world-building was fast paced, with a myriad of unique beings that make the setting come alive. I was particularly drawn to the dire wolves of the Alder King and The Wild Hunt, which were so cool and bad ass. The Blood Riders were particularly neat; I’ve never read a book with a creature like that in it before.

Aelia Springborn is a character who stands out. She’s tough, resilient, and battling deep mental health struggles due to her past. Her journey, intertwined with action and adventure across various kingdoms, was gripping and filled with suspense. The dynamic between Aelia, her former lover Caiden Stormweaver, and the charming Tharan Greenblade adds layers of complexity and emotion to the narrative. Gideon is a great villain, throughout the story you realize the mental, physical, and emotional abuse he inflicted on Aelia during their marriage, which adds to the story’s depth and tension.

The quote "Hope is a dangerous thing. It blinds us to reality" resonates throughout the story, reflecting the dark and perilous journey the characters undertake. This book reminded me of Six of Crows with its meticulous planning of heists, a group of misfits with assorted powers/skills coming together and their intricate infiltration of kingdoms.

Overall, A Curse of Breath and Blood is a fast paced fantasy that will captivate a reader who enjoys detailed world-building, strong characters, and a fast-paced, adventurous plot.

I genuinely wanted to like this book and it was very good in the first 15-20% but then the book started to get more and more confusing making me lose interest. There was a major lack in the world building and it felt like the characters had no distinct personalities. There were also multiple character introductions and I didn't know how any of them fit within the story. One of the main things I was confused about is the romance that's supposed to be within this book. The pov's were of Aelia and Caiden so I was sure that it would be a second chance romance between them. But then after 30%, I went to read some of the reviews and everyone was talking about Aelia with another man. I did see towards the end the potential that Aelia has with that apparent mmc but I feel like it was out of nowhere because there was no emotional or intimate connection. That also leads to the fact that I don't know a lot about the character's background or how they become what they are making it hard to care about what happens to them in the story. However, the overall plot of the story has potential so I think it would have been better if the book was longer especially since it's a fantasy so the characters and world could've been more developed.

I think this is one of the books with the potential to be better and it might didn’t hit the spot because the market is flooded with romantasy books who have the tropes enemies to lovers, forbidden love, second chance, found family, love triangle, forced proximity and so on. I liked the romance part but it took me a long way to feel passionate about the characters. The world building and character development could be better. Maybe for part two though!

Enemies to lovers forbidden love second chance fantasy, found family, magic, love triangle forced proximity these are just some of the troupes… this is my second fantasy book I’ve read and I enjoyed it! The way these characters found each other again was so satisfying to read and I just love them! Must read 4.5 ⭐️

“Another silent scream. I grasped at any shred of reality I could. “You’re not real. You’re not real. I am safe. I am protected.”

I absolutely loved this book and I will be anxiously awaiting the next book in the series, the author did an impeccable job showcasing the harsh reality many people face after leaving an abusive relationship. The mental health and CPTSD rep was beautifully written, and showcasing the spiraling into addiction, I applaud the author for touching on these dark topics without glamorizing them. This book felt like a much more mature folk of air story, with political intrigue and a morally grey female protagonist, adding in folklore and fae beings, I loved how the author wove the world building into the story, there is room to learn so much more as the world feels vast and yet concrete. The relationships between characters carried the plot well. Championing their quest for revenge, giving them a similar motive and creating a found family among unlikely friends. Another theme was grief, the grief that comes when someone loses a part of their identity, and has to rebuild, the grief of letting go of a relationship, and the grief of a past self.
With that said this book could be triggering for someone who has experienced this type of emotional trauma, although it is done tastefully it is something to be aware of.

While the plot was intriguing, the story fell short for me because of the lack of character development and world building. I didn't feel a strong connection to the characters and they didn't seem to have a strong connection to one another either. The world was murky and the plot felt rushed. I loved Tharan and Aelia's relationship, however, that is what kept me reading.

K.W. Foster knocked this book out of the park. I'm already needing the other parts of the series to come out! There are some parts that I was confused about. Some parts of the book went too quickly and I was wishing to have more of the story! There were some moments when the characters came into the scene and I wasn't sure where they came from. However, overall, I loved this book, the storyline, and the characters!

ARC Review of A Curse of Breath and Blood by K.W. Foster
* * * * *
An epic fantasy romance is our heroine fights the monster in her head, makes a painful deal with her first, takes a chance on another in her heart...as she makes an agreement to take down her enemies that will morph her into something she never planned on.

Aelia never got to live happily ever after with her first love. It was not possible. Sent away to marry a man who would bring horrors to her life, changing her more ways than one, and taking away all that she loved dear.
Years later, she uses her powers of the mind to make ends meet.
She was getting along just fine, in a sense, until an old face pops up needing her on his team. Caiden has never left her mind, not matter how many times she tries to literally erase him. The attraction is as intense as ever, not matter the bickering or past that affects them.
So to help them both move on, they make a deal: to erase her from his mind and eventually his life.
With the deal made and a quest to save the land, as well as Aelia's sister, she did not intend to fall all over again for Caiden, or find a spark in the charming Tharan.
An old love, a new fling, a sister in trouble, a wicked husband tormenting her mind, and death all around her...will Aeliea break or transform into something more that shall bring more death than she ever thought possible.

Talk about a complicated love life!
A monster of a husband - stab, stab, stab!
A first love with a binding agreement to wipe his memories of her forever - gurl...you are going to regret that!
A playboy that is digging his way into her heart - get it my woman!
Murdered parents. A sister who has totally lost her mind. Great friends and new alliances. A haunting spirit that will change Aelia's life.
Bloody balls. Epic battles. Steamy camping trips.
Very much wanting to know the next part to this story.

It’s giving ACOTAR vibes but better. Loved so many quotes in this damn book, I nearly highlighted on every page. I’m a huge fan of older main characters so THANK YOU

This book lacks worldbuilding—you're thrust into the story with a sudden time jump and little explanation of how things got there. The fast-paced narrative feels akin to young adult fiction, with our main character narrowly escaping death multiple times before the halfway mark. While there's plenty of action, it leaves little room for character development or relationship growth. We're told about emotions and connections, but they lack depth, making the second half feel rushed, like an instant love story.

The characters show potential but remain underdeveloped. The villain, described as sinister, only shows their true colors near the end, leaving little to root against. Aelia, flawed and healing from trauma, stands out, though her backstory remains vague. She reminded me of a more mature Aelin from Throne of Glass.

While the book's action-packed nature makes for a quick read, I felt it needed more pages or a split into two books to flesh out characters, world-building, and relationships. It will appeal to fans of fast-paced YA fantasy seeking a mature edge, but as someone who values deeper storytelling, it fell short for me.

Morally Grey FMC Aelia has been through every heartache you can think of, she reaches rock bottom and feels she has nothing left to loose. She reminds me of Thea from Legends of Thezmarr series.

Aelia is fierce and sassy yet trauma of past events hold back her strength and determination to drive forward and utilize her gifts to their full capacity.

However, Aelia has great friends that lift her up and out of her endless hopelessness. It’s great to see her grow and move past her past through this story. Her progress is rough and raw and you feel her emotions while you read through her story. It’s amazing!

I thought this book had just the right amount of romance, suspense and questing. You really hate the bad guys and are hoping for the best, however, there are plenty of twists along the way.

I’m intrigued to see what happens next in this series. I thought the good guys had the upper hand, but maybe not… we’ll have to see.

The following may contain spoilers:
Great love triangle! But is it still a love triangle now???
Caiden is sweet and duty driven, but he messed up and didn’t fight for the girl in my opinion so I am not team Caiden. I suggest she moves on, she’s a different person now, past or no past between them.

I’m team Tharan over here, I loved him. Passionate, knowledgeable, doesn’t tell her how to act or be but accepts her, and has a lot more in common with Aelia. I do wonder though if Aelia did have something to do with his feelings (internally), or I’m hunching maybe they are mated somehow..?

Wow! THis book was a thoroughly enjoyable read for me. It was everything I love in fantasy romance fiction - high stakes, lovable and complex characters, delightful worldbuilding and more!

I loved our fmc. She was strong and resilient and wasn't afraid of a challenge. And Tharon *heart eyes* (can you tell I have a favourite).

Overal, I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone interested

3.5/5 stars

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.

"𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞."

Before reading this book, the synopsis and the overall idea truly excited me: a blend of fantasy, enemies-to-lovers, magic, a second chance at love, a thrilling quest, complex and vulnerable characters, and multiple points of view. Thus, I found myself pondering: how could I possibly dislike this book? However, upon reading it, although I didn't end up disliking the book (in fact, I quite enjoyed it!), I also couldn't say that I liked it, although I really really wanted to and tried.

જ⁀➴ᡣ𐭩 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭?:
We follow Aelia Springborn, also known as the <i>Traitor Queen</i>, whose kingdom is destroyed and her family is gone. She earns money by breaking other's minds and erasing other's memories. She lives a life in the shadows, until the day that her former lover, her then love of her life, Caiden Stormweaver, appears back into her life. He has succeeded in tracking her down and now comes with a proposition she can't refuse: help him stop her former husband, King Gideon, from taking control over the deadly army of the Alder King. Once they succeed in doing that, Aelia will erase Caiden's memories of their relationship, erasing both the hurt and the wonder of their past. Aelia agrees to to the terms and goes on a quest bound by magic and aided by friends, but, it's not easy. Both the desperation, pain, attraction, longing, and love are alive between Aelia and Caiden's hearts. But, breaking a bargain in Moriana is deadly, their love can never be. Things become even more complicated when Aelia meets Tharan Greenblade, whom she cannot help but fall for. Fates are being intertwined, high stakes are being involved, and loyalties will be being tested. But, who is to trust?

I had trouble understanding the worldbuilding and imagining what the places looked like, and sometimes I didn't know where the characters were. I think this is because suddenly we're somewhere, and then suddenly we aren't and are somewhere else without much explanation, which left me feeling a bit confused and all over the place. I think if there had been more explanation, the worldbuilding would have been a lot stronger because I do feel like there's potential with all the different sorts of courts and environments. However, I did like the concept of the story itself!

ps. I do advise you to perhaps look at the author's website for some information about worldbuilding, characters, character art and so on, maybe that helps a little if you want to be prepared or are a bit confused like me, and if not, then, I mean, the website looks amazing! :)

We're being introduced to an interesting set of characters. To start the things that I liked is, to begin with, Aelia, how we meet her as our main character at the bottom of her life. Her kingdom destroyed, living with the trauma from what her husband had done to her and forced her to do through manipulation and power, how she copes daily with her addiction and her memories of her first love haunting her. From the beginning of the book, we see her vulnerabilities, we see her trying, falling, standing up again, and growing. I admired her strength with how she was carrying her burdens. She's flawed and through the other characters like Amolie, Caiden and Tharan, we see her accept that it's okay to have flaws and to not be ''perfect''. To accept herself. I find it difficult to talk about the other characters, I liked Amolie for how caring and kind she was, but It's just that I couldn't connect with the characters and I feel like I still don't know them that well. We don't get much background story. Some characters have depth, some barely do and some don't, so it felt a bit unbalanced and flat at times because the emotions and depth stayed at surface level. I would have loved to know more about the characters.

At first, the prologue and first few chapters got me and I felt a few tears welling up in my eyes. It broke my heart to see how much Caiden and Aelia loved each other, how they cared so fondly for one another, but were forced to separate from one another. A love that could never be, but would have been so beautiful if it would have been. I felt for them. And I so hated Gideon and the whole law coming in between them. When I got a bit further into the story, I began to lose that feeling. <spoiler>Caiden comes back into Aelia's life and of course, old feelings come back again, but, it felt suddenly very forced and it didn't feel...real. Past feelings come back, but then there's Ursula, then there's Caiden and Aelia again, then there's Tharan and suddenly they are kissing, and then it's Caiden again then suddenly Caiden, Aelia, AND Ursula kiss, then suddenly it stops and that's it and then there's the erasing of Caiden's memories what should have been emotional, and it is, is but I didn't feel it because Aelia is then going to Tharan and falling for him and loving him. It went from ''𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶'' unnaturally fast to something else.</spoiler> So, it all just felt so all over the place and sudden and random and I just couldn't keep up with it all and connect with the characters and their romance, sadly. However, I do admire how all of the characters love one another despite their flaws and even love one another more with them, and tell and show one another that, and love each other with their scars involved.

Some moments were beautifully written and I have annotated a lot of sentences which I found either beautiful, emotional, or inspiring. I felt like there were moments of depth, and sometimes were it was supposed to be, it was more told than felt, but that can also be just me. Some moments felt rushed, sudden, and kind of cut off, which is the main reason why I unfortunately couldn't enjoy this book as much as I hoped I would. I am interested in the characters still and the story itself I liked and enjoyed. If a second book comes out, I want to read it, because I do am curious after that cliffhanger and would like to know what will happen with the characters. I think you'd like this if you like or would like a fantasy romance set in a dark atmospheric setting with a complex main character trying to cope with what she has been going through, with themes of trauma, addiction, loss, second chance forbidden romance, love triangle(s), found family, magic and high-stakes.
